Booting a system in a limited environment, such as safe mode, allows essential services to run without interference from malware. In this mode, only the core components of the operating system load, making it easier to identify and remove harmful software without the complications that could arise from malware actively running.
Other options, like erasing certain data or settings, do not isolate the problem effectively because they can lead to potential data loss without addressing the underlying infection.
